I know people who go to museums to look at a single painting. That might seem a bit perverse, given all that’s on offer. But, in a sense, I try to enact a version of this same, focused impulse in my Great Works, In Focus column. I’m saying, “Hey, let’s look at this one thing.”

 

This link should enable the collection for you without a subscription. The front page has buttons that let you filter the selection by category or location. A great painting may be in a museum near you!
